Renner_construction Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 There's countless options as far as colors go. There's also different styles of shingles. Color really doesn't make much of a difference in temperate of the roof deck... No matter what it's hot! However proper ventilation and insulation of your attic is what is key to stop the heat transfer. The photo above is what's called the underpayment or "tar paper"It's an additional leak protection before the shingles. There's a few ways to attach this, with the most common being t-50 style staples. That's what the Milwaukee hammer tacker takes and that's what I used to fasten the tar paper to the roof sheathing.

Renner_construction Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 Basically every course of shingles has about 6" removed off the end.Installation instructions are provided with every type of shingle, however the installation are all similar. Usually 4-6 nails a shingle. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renner_construction Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 Yea that makes sense they would do that, because once the underlayment comes off its game over.
